Marginal Way Clifftop Ocean Panorama

The Marginal Way Cliff Walk

Marginal Way is a mile-and-a-quarter paved footpath that traces the edge of the rocky shore between Ogunquit village and Perkins Cove. This camera captures the granite ledges and tidal pools that define one of New England's most beloved coastal walks.

The Ogunquit Coastline

Beyond the foreground rocks, the lens reaches the broad arc of Ogunquit Beach and the shimmering Atlantic. The shifting tide reveals and conceals sandbars and mussel-covered boulders, giving the scene a constantly changing character.

Wildlife and the Open Sea

The waters off Ogunquit draw gulls, cormorants and eider ducks, while harbor seals occasionally surface among the rocks. Across the open water the lens can pick out lobster boats working their traps offshore.

Visiting Ogunquit

A quintessential Maine resort town, Ogunquit pairs its dramatic coast with art galleries, seafood shacks and the lively Perkins Cove harbor. The Marginal Way remains its signature attraction, offering uninterrupted ocean views along its full length.
